GP Surgeries Change Phone Numbers

I am pleased to hear the news that another eight GP surgeries in Rotherham are due to change their phone numbers to local geographical rate numbers from next Monday; which will ensure that calls from both landlines and mobiles are charged at a standard rate. Last month 14 practices plus five branch surgeries switched to new numbers, with a further four practices changing in August.

This has been an area of concern for many people in Rotherham and is an issue that I have raised with NHS Rotherham in recent months. They have been working with GP practices across the borough to make these changes to telephone systems.
